Linear Encoder Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed overview of Newall's linear encoders, focusing on incremental, absolute, and distance-coded models. These encoders utilize Spherosyn technology for precise position measurement through electromagnetic induction.
Incremental Encoders: These encoders generate quadrature square wave or sine-cosine feedback signals, ideal for servo-driven applications. They operate by producing a 10kHz sinusoidal current, with phase shifts processed by a DSP to create a differential quadrature signal.
Absolute Encoders: Newall's absolute encoders deliver true position data immediately upon power-up without batteries or static memory. They use a stainless steel tube with nickel-chrome elements and coded inserts, with data processed by a DSP.
Distance-Coded Encoders: These encoders acquire absolute position by moving across two uniquely spaced reference markers, mimicking distance-coded index marks from glass scales.
Company Profile: Newall, founded in 1968 in Peterborough, England, is a subsidiary of BEI Technologies Inc., part of Schneider Electric. The company specializes in automation and machine tool technologies, exporting over 85% of its products globally. It is ISO 9001 certified and received the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1998.
Technical Specifications: The document details specifications for various encoder models, including IP67 protection ratings, accuracy grades, maximum traverse speeds, and shock/vibration tolerances. The encoders are designed for harsh environments and require no maintenance.
Encoder Selection Guide: This guide outlines factors for selecting the appropriate encoder, such as precision level, spatial limitations, measuring length, resolution, and output signal. It includes model codes for different applications.
Installation and Operation: The MAG encoder features a flexible tape scale for easy installation on uneven surfaces, with a reader head converting magnetic fields into electrical signals. The document explains the operation principle and reference marks.
